I’m thinking about double majoring in economics and math, and probably working in some business-related field after college (maybe i-banking). How do these two majors at Williams compare to the top schools such as Princeton, Harvard, MIT, etc?

Also, I know Williams is very reputable for placing their graduates in the top Grad schools. But I actually want to work right after undergrad for a couple of years and then tackle Grad school, so I want to know how is Williams for career prospects, especially business-related? Is Williams well-known among the big companies? Internships over the summer? Do a lot of ibanks recruit on campus? What’s the average starting salary for an economics major going into ibanking, etc, etc.
